Author Topic:   Top two squares of Resource MFD inaccessible

I just installed the 3.0 patch onto a clean copy of SMAC and soon noticed that the two northernmost squares in every city's resource MFD (p. 70) will not respond to mouseclicks. You can click on those two and drag the whole MFD window, but you cannot reassign workers to those squares.
So I'm reinstalling and going back to 2.0 until I hear of a fix.

And now I've discovered what makes this happen:
Install SMAC, then 3.0 patch, then the Colorblind palette (I'm r/g colorblind), and voila, the top 2 squares stop working.
Interestingly, if you install the palette before 3.0, 3.0 then won't install but instead gives the "Old File" error message.
(Note--the colorblind palette I'm using I downloaded a few weeks ago, before 3.0 came out. Have there been changes to the palette since then?)
Help!! Now I'm locked into the 1.0 version because I can't use 3.0 without the colorblind palette and you've deleted the 2.0 US version download from your site. Please either fix this or email me the 2.0 patch.
